The first European Congress of Mathematics was held in Paris from
July 6 to July 10, 1992, at the Sorbonne and Pantheon-Sorbonne
universities. It was hoped that the Congress would constitute a
symbol of the development of the community of European nations.
More than 1,300 persons attended the Congress. The purpose of the
Congress was twofold. On the one hand, there was a scientific facet
which consisted of forty-nine invited mathematical lectures that
were intended to establish the state of the art in the various
branches of pure and applied mathematics. This scientific facet
also included poster sessions where participants had the
opportunity of presenting their work. Furthermore, twenty-four
specialized meetings were held before and after the Congress. The
second facet of the Congress was more original. It consisted of six
teen round tables whose aim was to review the prospects for the
interactions of mathematics, not only with other sciences, but also
with society and in particular with education, European policy and
industry. In connection with this second goal, the Congress also
succeeded in bring ing mathematics to a broader public. In addition
to the round tables specific ally devoted to this question, there
was a mini-festival of mathematical films and two mathematical
exhibits. Moreover, a Junior Mathematical Congress was organized,
in parallel with the Congress, which brought together two hundred
high school students."
